The United Nations and the European Union: An Ever Stronger Partnership

This book addresses the consequences of European integration for the position of public international law in the European Union and its Member States. Increasingly, international law has become a part of the EU legal order and is thereby "europeanised". The consequence is that its application and interpretation by the Member States is no longer solely a matter for their own constitutional order, but is also governed by EU law. The book illuminates critical questions pertaining to this triangular relationship, such as : whether we are dealing with the emergence of a distinct European system of public international law ; the extent to which Member States actually recognise the effect of this 'europeanisation' of international law ; and the role of the European Court of Justice with respect to the application and interpretation of "europeanised" international law within the Member States. The book is geared towards academics, practitioners and government officials alike.

The Europeanisation of International Law - The Status of International Law in the EU and its Member States

The third edition of this book incorporates more than 10 years of fascinating dynamics since the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty. Apart from analysing the general basis of the European Union's external action and its relationship to international law, the book explores the law and practice of the EU in more specialized fields of external action, such as common commercial policy, neighbourhood policy, development cooperation, cooperation with third countries, humanitarian aid, external environmental policy, and common foreign and security policy, as well as EU sanctions. Five years after the second edition published, this fully updated edition contains major developments within the law itself, along with changes and restructuring of the themes within the book. Carefully selected primary documents are accompanied with analytic commentary on the issues they raise and their significance for the overall structure of EU external relations law. The primary materials selected include many important legal documents that are hard to find elsewhere but give a vital insight into the operation of EU external relations law in practice.

The EU's Role in Global Governance - The Legal Dimension

"This is a masterful text that takes on the entire field and delivers a broad, clear overview of the terrain. It does so with a notable degree of reflection and analysis while also presenting foundational texts and academic writings. I commend it to the attention of EU scholars and practitioners across the disciplines.", Michael O'Flaherty, Director, EU Fundamental Rights Agency. "In this accessible and nuanced book, Wouters and Ovádek shine a light on the delicate interplay between human rights and EU law, policy, regional governance and external affairs. Abounding in experdy selected cases and materials, this is an exceptional book for students wishing to engage with the complex terrain of human rights in the EU, and an invaluable resource for international human rights scholars", Rosemary Ann Byrne, Professor of Legal Studies, NYU Abu Dhabi. "In an era of internal and external political turbulence the protection of human rights is an issue of critical importance for the EU. This book is thus a very welcome addition to the academic literature and should be of considerable interest to students, academics and practicing lawyers. Wide-ranging and authoritative, combining text and materials, it covers institutional and substantive areas of human rights law, external as well as internat policy, and devotes particular attention to areas such as migration policy and anti-discrimination", Gráinne De Burca, Florence Ellinwood Allen Professor of Law, NYU. "Amid the rapidly expanding academic literature on the EU and human rights this book stands out. It offers substantial depth to the complex nature of human rights in EU internal and external matters. It brings to the reader the historical dimensions and contemporary challenges all well balanced with cases, regulations and texts. This book will be essential at any academic course addressing human rights in the EU, it will position the EU firmer among human rights scholars and it will bring the human rights dimension to professionals working in other fields of EU law", Morten Kjaerum, Director, Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law, former Director, EU Fundamental Rights Agency.
